FBI Surveillance of GOP Lawmakers Raises Questions About Abuse of Power

By Hans Mahncke | The Federalist The FBI secretly monitored the phone records of eight sitting Republican senators in an abusive fishing expedition done with impunity. In 1972, a small team of operatives connected to President Richard Nixon’s re-election campaign broke into the Democratic National Committee’s offices in the Watergate complex to install listening devices. To this day, there is no conclusive evidence that Nixon personally ordered — or even knew of — the break-in beforehand. Yet Watergate shaped American political consciousness for decades. It gave the world a permanent suffix for scandal and became the ultimate symbol of abuse of power, a crisis so severe that it culminated in the only resignation of a U.S. president to preempt removal from office. Fast forward 50 y...

Pam Bondi Turns the Tables on Senate Democrats in Fiery Judiciary Hearing

By Matt Vespa | Commentary, Townhall Attorney General Pam Bondi came out swinging today during her testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. The Democrats' plan was clear from the start: to distract and divert from their government shutdown, lawlessness in cities, rogue judges, and the death and destruction Joe Biden's open border policies unleashed. Pam Bondi was having none of it and continuously brought the conversation back to what Democrats tried to avoid. It’s one of those things: Democrats need to shift the focus on who’s to blame to mask their incompetence. She came prepared, bringing a gun to the Democrats’ knife fight. When liberal media reporters admit that she was cooking Democrats, you know it’s bad. Before we get to her taking these clowns to the cleaners, let’s ...

New Report Alleges Biden Administration Spied on Eight Republican Senators

By Roberto Wakerell-Cruz | The Post Millennial "This document shows the Biden FBI spied on 8 of my Republican Senate colleagues during its Arctic Frost investigation into ‘election conspiracy.’ Arctic Frost later became Jack Smith’s elector case against Trump." Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) on Monday released a document showing that the FBI conducted surveillance on eight Republican senators as part of an investigation codenamed Arctic Frost. In a post on X, Grassley said, “This document shows the Biden FBI spied on 8 of my Republican Senate colleagues during its Arctic Frost investigation into ‘election conspiracy.’ Arctic Frost later became Jack Smith’s elector case against Trump. BIDEN FBI WEAPONIZATION = WORSE THAN WATERGATE.” The FBI document, dated Septembe...

‘Arctic Frost,’ FBI probe into Trump swept up Charlie Kirk’s TPUSA, Grassley points to DOJ weaponization

By Ashley Oliver | Fox News Senate Judiciary chairman releases new documents showing scope of 2022 election-related probe Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, revealed Tuesday that the FBI's election-related investigation into President Donald Trump, launched in 2022, swept in dozens of Republican entities, including the late Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA. Speaking during a hearing focused on oversight of the FBI, Grassley said the investigation, which the bureau called "Arctic Frost," was partisan in nature and that its expansive scope was evidence of that. "In other words, Arctic Frost wasn't just a case to politically investigate Trump," Grassley said. "It was a vehicle by which partisan FBI agents and Department of Justice prosecutors could ac...

Trump Cites Paid Agitators Hints at RICO Scrutiny for Soros Network

By Joe Saunders | The Western Journal The American left’s most infamous financial backer could be looking at a federal investigation. On “Fox & Friends” Friday, President Donald Trump said billionaire George Soros could be subject to federal racketeering laws for bankrolling “professional agitators” who have been behind protests around the country. And he cited his own experience at a Washington, D.C., restaurant this week as Exhibit A. “You know they have professional agitators,” Trump told the “Fox & Friends” hosts. “I had one the other night. I went into the restaurant and this woman stood up. I looked at her immediately. She had money… They get paid for it.” The incident took place Tuesday, when Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio,...

Trump Admin Supports Nationwide Bill to Shield Children From Transgender Procedures

By Leif Le Mahieu | Daily Wire The legislation would allow kids to sue their doctors within 25 years of their 18th birthday.  The Trump administration is backing legislation that would ban doctors from performing transgender procedures on children and allow lawsuits against doctors or hospitals who greenlit such procedures.   The Justice Department said Wednesday that it had “transmitted a legislative proposal to Congress that protects and defends children from chemical and surgical mutilation under the guise of ‘gender-affirming care.’” In the press release, the DOJ said it was backing a proposal from Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Rep. Bob Onder (R-MO) that would protect children nationwide from transgender procedures. “The Department of Justice has h...

DU scales back DEI programs to avoid losing federal funding

By Evan Kruegel | Denver Gazette Chancellor Jeremy Haefner said he's concerned DU's access to federal funding could be at risk if it doesn't comply The University of Denver is scaling back its diversity, equity and inclusion work as it moves to comply with new directives from the Trump administration. In an interview with 9NEWS, Chancellor Jeremy Haefner said DU will no longer provide DEI training for staff and will end scholarships and programs once offered exclusively to students of specific racial groups. Haefner said the university previously had “gifts and scholarships that were directed towards protected classes that the Department of Justice memo has really now clearly articulated as unlawful.” Other colleges have already seen federal funding frozen or pulled after th...

Polis says Colorado isn’t a sanctuary state but the laws say otherwise

By The Gazette editorial board | Commentary, The Gazette Gov. Jared Polis has distinguished himself in business and politics, yet he arguably missed his true calling — doing stand-up at a comedy club. He’d leave his audience in stitches. Case in point: His thigh-slapper the other day — about Colorado not being a sanctuary state. He had us rolling on the floor. We were laughing through our tears, of course, given the toll illegal immigration has taken here. But there’s no denying the governor is a hoot. He is in fact such a natural-born comic, his familiar, “Sanctuary? What sanctuary?” routine is uproarious even when delivered secondhand by his communications staff. “Colorado is not a sanctuary state,” Polis’ office deadpanned in a news release Thursday for our news affiliate Co...

By Jennifer McRae | CBS News Colorado The Justice Department put 11 other states on its list besides Colorado — California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Minnesota, Nevada, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, and the District of Columbia.

Gov. Polis' Office said in a statement to CBS Co...

Report: CIA sought heavy redactions as Gabbard declassified Trump-Russia files

By Olivia Rondeau | BREITBART Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard overrode officials from the CIA and other intelligence agencies to release a “minimally redacted” version of declassified documents that shed light on the Obama administration’s fabricated Trump-Russia collusion narrative, sources told the Washington Post.  President Donald Trump reportedly gave Gabbard his blessing to publish a highly classified House Intelligence Committee report last month with the support of CIA Director John Ratcliffe and U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, while sources said other members of the intelligence community warned that a greater portion of the files should have been redacted. Gabbard said the 46-page House Intelligence report re...
